Basic Instinct

It’s back to basics once again. This is what I call corporate chic styled in a minimalist way. It’s the classic black and white combination. Practically anyone can pull this off! It’s as easy as batting your pretty little lashes. :)

I’ve always wanted wide trousers. As I’ve said before, Mango always has the best collection of pants/trousers. I prefer them over other brands because they’re usually long enough for me to wear heels with. Wide trousers in particular are so hard to find in other stores. Whenever I find the perfect pair, they’re either too thin or too short. With Mango, they always fit right.

So many pleats going on!

Since it’s Christmas season already, I know a lot of you are looking for party outfits. Party dresses and formal wear are usually our go-to outfits but for some corporate parties, I think this is a good look. Of course if the dress code is formal, then it’s a little too simple for that. But otherwise, an outfit like this can actually work. All you have to do is accessorize. The right accessories can make your outfit party-worthy. In my case, it’s gold accessories again. (You know me!)

    Hi, Camille!

    I absolutely love your blog. I was wondering what camera you use for your photos. Do you post-process them after? And what mode do you use? :)

    Thanks a lot! More power! :)

      Thanks Hannah! I use D7000 and edit the photos on Photoshop. Nothing fancy and super basic lang :) I use manual mode :)

    I haven’t been able to visit your blog for a while but I’m glad that when I did, I came to this post! I love the wide leg pants, they are so chic! That blouse looks so billowy and my eyes instantly gravitated to those rings and belt. They are fantastic!

    The good thing about white & black , its so versatile. Like you can play with it with no limits. Black+white+gold=lakas maka mayaman ang dating! I heard that in liz uy! Hahaha I love the way you pose, bagay na bagay. May pa lakad lakad effect ka na(sideview version) hahaha ikaw na! Sana pupunta ka ng davao at magpa workshop about blogging ang photography. I have random question again, visitor ka ng isang fashion blog, ano yung unang papansinin mo, is it the quality of his/her photos or yung write-ups niya? Choose only one. Thank you in advance! Merry Christmas!

      So true! I agree, it really is the best–white+black+gold. :)

    Kryptonite!! I’m a sucker for power suits/dresses and this is no exception!!

    Very clean cut corporate and still very stylish. I like how the pleats of the pants lend to the less accessorised look.

    The high waist line also accentuates your already statuesque height. :)
